The Dead
Boro (Mod) Huinesoron (Villager) ---- It is Night 2 Welcome Huey! You are free to post and talk to yourself (although try to refrain from spamming. The moderators frown on getting this thread "too chatty" I'm just pumped that I will finally experience a dead thread from the start until the end. And NOT have to read the entire thread afterwards.

Welp.
"Live fast, die young, leave an introspective corpse." - Finrod, probably I shall muse to myself tomorrow, and see who joins me toMorrow. "Don't get mad - get even." - I wanna say Tuor? hS |

"There is no emotion - there is peace.
There is no ignorance - there is knowledge. There is no passion - there is serenity. There is no death - there is the Dead Thread." - Let's say Finwe Huinesoron's analysis of Day 1, Part 1: Me. Good news! Multiple people noted that my play style was different to last game, which was a firm goal of mine. Less good news: I'm not sure the difference they noticed was the one I was aiming for. I was angling for 'shorter and more committed posts', but seem to have wound up with 'more pokey'. Bad news: it got me killed. Okay, so why am I dead? According to my voters: -Shasta: thought I was the Nightmare Wolf because I was pushing people, liked my explanation for what I was up to, but voted me anyway. -Rikae: skeptical about my pushing, and thought my paranoia looked guilty. That's fair. -Nog: misreading my 'initial suspicion' of Formendacil, and not liking me saying what I was doing w/r/t pushing. -Kath: 'to see what happens', plus presumably the earlier claim I was ''pushing' everyone but not particularly saying a lot himself.' I'm seeing two factors at play, both in the votes and in people's other comments on me: -Actively pushing people to try and get reads on them draws attention. Not much I can do about that - I get my best reads off people by interacting with them, and I refuse to sit quietly and not play the game. -I'm saying too much of what I'm thinking. This covers both the paranoia theory and Nog's whole thing. I mean... I kind of see the point, but not sharing my thoughts means the rest of the village aren't getting all the information. I want to make sure that they understand what I'm trying to say and do, rather than just leaving them a bunch of 'hS is being weird'. I dunno. I'd really like to think the clear misreading by various people (Kath, Nog) is wolfish scheming, because... well, I'm a writer, words are my tool, and the idea that I'm just bad at communicating makes me kind of sad. But... ah, well. Next post: the votes. hS |

"Tol-in-Gaurhoth was a democracy - one man, one vote. The Moderator was the Man, and he had the Vote." - Orodreth, I suppose.
Huinesoron's Analysis of Day 1, Part 2: The Vote Unlike most votes in the last game, this wasn't a two-horse race, and that means there's a lot of potential information there - hooray! Let's get to it. From Boro's DL-minus-5 tally: Nilp > Nilp Sally > No Vote Shasta > Huey Huey > Form BG > Form (2) Greenie > Pitch Rikae > Huey (2) Lommy > Nilp (2) Nog > Huey (3) Lottie > Legate Kath > Huey (4) Brinn > BG Legate > Form (3) Form > Nilp (3) Pitch > Kath Mac > Pitch (2)
Based on that, here's my list of 'suspicious or not': hS thinks evil: -Nog -Lottie? -Kath -Brinn -Pitch hS is neutral: -Nilp (but might be a cobbler - those boots!) -Sally -Form -Mac hS thinks innocent: -Shasta -Greenie -Rikae -Lommy -Legate This was my problem yesterDay: my biggest 'evil' reads were on people who suspected me. But with more time to look back, I still think they're dodgy. I would guess one of the final group will join me here toMorrow, and would consider any of them as a possible Medium. If one of the 'evil' group winds up night-killed, I'll need to do a total reevaluataion. (I can't imagine a Neutral will - Nilp is on his first game back, Sally is ill, Form was the person a lynched innocent voted for, and Mac's lack of posting makes him look generally suspicious.) hS |

"A picture lynches a thousand words." - Sounds like Ar-Pharazon the Cobbler
I drew this the other day as part of a birthday present for my mother. Consider it my gift to mislynched Ordos and undercover wolves alike. Whoever joins me here: welcome! I will laugh so hard if you're the Cobbler. hS |

I'm reading this as "hey pack, let's all vote Shasta."

Also, we know from Greenie that neither Shasta, Nilp, or Rikae is the Ranger. If the innocents had only spotted her post, a Ranger reveal would net us 4 known innocents. hS |
